Spring Cleaning: Hoover Platinum Collection Carpet Cleaner (Giveaway)

The holidays hit hard and it looks like a toy-filled bomb has exploded in our home! I’m quite certain that every Disney Princess visited the girls playroom while we were sleeping and they all forgot their dresses! With the holidays now behind us, it’s time to focus on spring cleaning, and after the large amount of traffic we incurred over the holidays, the carpets are the first item up for business!

Carpet is a funny thing isn’t it? A few spots don’t really seem like a big deal when your a mom. We see spots everyday…not only on the floor, but on the walls, the glass, the windows and if you live in my home, you’ll see spots of ketchup all over your pants at times. What’s surprising about carpet, however, is that those few spots actually contain an obscene amount of dirt and it wasn’t until we used the Hoover Platinum Collection carpet cleaner, that we really found out how utterly disgusting dirty the carpets really were.

Set Up
The set up took a matter of minutes, entailing snapping the top end of the cleaner to the bottom and inserting two bolts. Once completed, I filled the water tank and the cleaning solution tank and went to work!

The Cleaning Process:
Once the tanks are filled, the process of cleaning is really quite simple and the carpet cleaner does the majority of the work for you. The carpet cleaner features push button, computerized controls on the front of the unit, and light-up prompts let you know exactly where you are in the cleaning process. From the control panel, you can choose which surface you are planning on cleaning (Carpet or Rug) and this carpet cleaner is smarter than you would think, even letting you know when the dirty water tank is full!

The process of cleaning includes a wash cycle, rinse cycle and two dry cycles. Each time you push the carpet cleaner forward or backwards, it automatically knows what it’s doing, leaving the thinking up to the machine. If carpets have spots or stains, the carpet cleaner has a narrow and wide spot cleaning option to ensure proper cleaning.

Got Stairs?
The Hoover Platinum Collection carpet cleaner comes equipped with on board tools including a SpinScrub hand tool, cervice tool and carpet/upholstery tool. These on board tools allow you to clean stairs, upholstery or any other small areas using the attached hose. Oh how I wish I had these with my last couch!

Our girls entry way in their bedroom is a high traffic area and this is what we started with (I know, ewwwwe)….

Final Thoughts I have to admit that I am apprehensive of any carpet cleaner. I have tried a few over the years and although a little bit of dirt came out, it certainly wasn’t what you would call… impressive. We typically use professional carpet services (of which doesn’t remove some of the spots and stains) and just used one of these services 4 months ago, so I wasn’t expecting much when I put the Hoover Platinum Collection carpet cleaner to work!

The professional carpet cleaners are now fired!

The spots are gone and the proof is right inside the dirty water tank! The Hoover Platinum Collection Carpet Cleaner surpassed all of my expectations and then some. Although a bit big in size, it’s amazing on board computerized control panel, multiple SpinScrub’s, sleek design, and ability to clean stairs and upholstery, make this carpet cleaner worth it’s weight in gold!

Buy It!
The Hoover Platinum Collection Carpet Cleaner retails for $399 and can be purchased online at Hoover or at Amazon. Additonally, you’ll need to purchase Hoover’s carpet and upholstery detergent, which will retails for around $20.

I love Hoover. The first vacuum I ever bought was a Hoover, but, it is now 30 years old and I’m ready for a new one. Thanks for the chance.

I have been talking about wanting to clean the carpets in our rental all winter. I don’t think they’ve probably ever been cleaned and I know it would be so much better if I could do it, but can’t afford a cleaning service and rentals are a little steep too. I would be sooo thrilled to get this!!

Oh my gosh, we could so use this around here! 3 months of Ohio winter, 2 kids and 4 dogs = 1 seriously messy carpet. I am following @HooverClean on Twitter (@amandapersists) and I like “Deal”ectible Mommies on Facebook (as Amanda Davis)
